Who do you think will be the Selke finalists?

[thesensguy]

J. Staal should get some looks. He has been phenomenal.

Interestingly this season he has his best offensive numbers and terrible defensive metrics compared to other years.

 

[freecheese]

Barkov is in a class of his own. He shouldn't be included in this poll out of respect.

I still dont really know how the winner for this award is chosen...Is it points and +/- or is it reputation or what?

Reputation. Lazy hockey writers.

 

[Atoyot]

Stone should win it but he won't. They don't give it to wingers.

I'm just dying to see Sid at least get a nomination.

That said if I'm betting: Stone, Barkov, Bergeron

 

[agent082]

Stone and Bergeron are two but the third one is tough. I voted Crosby. Can be Barkov or O'Reilly too.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Barkov is a lock for a nomination this year and should win. The only one I could see winning other than him would be Stone because he’s been fantastic as well.

 

[CupInSIX]

This is a reputation award as much as anything, so there's no reason to believe Bergeron & ROR won't be 2 candidates. That leaves Barkov, Marchand, Crosby and Stone. I went with Stone because he's just on another level this year (no disrespect to Barkov).

 

[Zybalto]

Clicked my 3 and ended up with the consensus.

Stone deserves more recognition in general but this is Barkov's year to take it and he should take it IMO.

It certainly hasn't been easy playing in the best division in hockey the last few years with its top heavy elite scoring. Getting wave after wave of defending Tampas scoring machine, the Perfection line, Matthews/Tavares and Eichel, not easy to put up good defensive numbers as well as produce at a PPG.

 

[Coffey]

Draisaitl.
67pt, +25

Vengeance for last year.

 

[Mickey Marner]

The top-five will probably be something like

1. Barkov/Bergeron
2. Barkov/Bergeron
3. O'Reilly/Stone
4. O'Reilly/Stone
5. Crosby/Danault

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

O Reilly
Crosby
Barkov

In that order
